LFC v Auxerre match thread

[AFII]

Gerrard our best player in the first half.

I really wish pre season games werent televised, a glorified training session and bellends declare players a "legend" or "not worth the money" and "****" on 45 ****ing minutes.

In the modern era where there is rarely a break in the footie these games do count for more than they used to. Our poor form at the start of last season was a direct result of some disjointed pre-season matches.

Ryan Babel is our, what, 3rd most expensive signing ever? Even at 50% he should be capable of showing something a bit classy.

Exactly in the first half Babel has been "****", "not worth the money" and a "legend" when he left the ball for Gerrard's goal

[cobain]

The commentator is expecting Paletta to stay on the pitch ... Didn't Paletta injure himself?

He was **** in the first half. Never said a bad buy; Its pre-season FFS. That said, he was ****. Everyone is **** now and then... jury is out.

[bigfooty]

Xabi, Crouch, Torres, Riise, Pennant amongst those to come on at half-time.

[Gaz]

Lets hope for a better 2nd half performance and hopefully a goal for Torres

[bigfooty]

Hmm actually not sure Xabi is on.

[bigfooty]

Ah yes there he is.

[Shaggy]

Who stayed on? Benayoun? Mihaylov? Paletta?

[bigfooty]

Palleta and Agger in the middle.

[bigfooty]

Torres bursts down the left, cross in stabbed at by Crouch and deflected for a corner.

Corner taken short, Yossi whips it in , Torres goes for it and foul given against Torres.

[bigfooty]

Team as best I can make out:

Mihaylov, Arbeloa, Paletta, Agger, Riise, Pennant, Alonso, Hobbs, Yossi, Torres, Crouch.

[GordonGecko]

Gerrard scores - one nil

[Chrono]

Palleta and Agger in the middle.

Of defence?

[Flake]

actually not a bad flick by crouch...was on target at least
